Antivirus warned when using .vote

Post by Garr Growen »

Hey

I wish to research this little problem because my antivirus program avast! gave a warning signal and blocked a malicious attack after I tried .vote command in game. Is there anyone else noticing such problems?

Yeah, it shouldn't have anything to do with us.

I just ran some domain (urlvoid & urlQuery) checks on the site. It's clean far as I can tell. You may have to mess with your AV settings. Also, if you got a free version of Avast, I'd recommend conducting some research on that program to make sure it is actually legit.

Most likely just a false positive. Many spyware programs will popup browser pages at unwanted times etc. Probably thinks pang is trying to give you popups.

Its something fairly common with antivirus programs.
